Anglia Ruskin 2011 entry

hehe fair enough :P I didn't read all the posts but yh I wanted to make sure I wasn't on the ground floor, so I emailed them yesterday. I was surprised that they replied so quickly lol

How long did it take for a reply?? Was it through email or post?

Yo, I'm also enrolling this September.
Has anyone else seen Bridget's & Nightingale accommodation yet? Or the houses along Collier Road?
I figured since the on-campus was all filled up I'd wing it for the flats that sounded the most rustic, lol, & that were in the CENTRE of Cambridge life! : D

Anywho, anyone else on the Illustration & Animation BA?

I'm soo glad I stumbled upon this thread!

I'm going to Sedley Court this September too

Is anyone in 17b??

anyone doing Abnormal & Clinical Psychology??

hey,, im on the illustration BA.

i ve got a place in one of the university managed houses,, no idea what its like but it seems more appealing than halls

Apparently every single university managed accomodation has been fully allocated.

Without a room for me.

Looks like I will have to attend one of the open days over summer.

Damn my waiting around.

Oh cool! Yeah, I put the university managed houses as my 2nd/3rd choice so I may be in one too : ) & I know what you mean, its why I put Bridget's & Nightingale as my 1st choice, means I see more of Cambridge quicker, since I'm not living on-campus.

Your the first Illustrator I've seen on here : D I'm really looking forward to September & working in the studios with everyone else. It'll be a hoot : )

Is Sedley Court all full aswell?!

haha yeah i havnt come across anyone else on the illustration course either. yeah the art school seems so nice,, spacious, lots of light, kick ass print room. all that.

it just sucks that the art school is under the anglia ruskin umbrella

i tell people im going to cambridge school of art, they seem really impressed until i tell them its part of anglia ruskin oh well

Hey, how is the social life around Anglia Ruskin?
is it a nice place, with things to do ?

All full to rafters! I called up the accommodation office, though & the chap I spoke to was really nice & said that The Forum (which is where I'll likely be placed) was recently refurbished & still has up to six people sharing. (lots of people is my preference) But there are 2 bedroom houses too.

If you weren't offered a place at the uni managed places you'll be invited along to an open day to see which room you have.



Haha, yeah it's a nice feeling saying cambridge art school! Weirdly enough the University of Cambridge art department is called Ruskin too. So you wouldn't be far off telling the truth if you said that.
But Anglia Ruskin isn't a bad place! I've been to so many universities & prestige is often weighed with feeling welcome. The more prestigious the place the less welcome you feel or helpful anyone is. Obvs thats not a rule for everywhere but Anglia Ruskin sure feels like a community. Plus they are like hooked up with really great illustrators & artists in Cambridge.
Y'know they have this session once a week/month where artists come to do some life drawing together then they all go to the pub afterwards! & we can go to that!

I know what you mean though, have you seen how much light is in the illustration room! SUCH BIG WINDOWS! & the plants remind me of my old art room lol.

Your right, at the end of the day its best to go with somewhere you feel comfortable and feel you can produce the best work, especially on an art course as its all about building up your portfolio.

Yeah im really looking forward to the life drawing every week,, thought it was twice a week though? Either its going to be sweet and very beneficial.

By the way my accommodation has been allocated, its a lovely Georgian terrace.

I'm kinda hoping they have some silent discos. I've never been to one of those.

Hey just thought id add my bit in, anyone who wants to email me or message me can I am moving into 24a and my sister is moving into 15b, we are twins and both going to Anglia Ruskin in september soo probably see you there! haha

Of which halls?
